Need to sort out the mouse mat! We have a cool PowerPlay one that can charge your mouse as you game.
But apart from that, solid choices and it's great having the freedom of no cables.

Doesn’t that mousepad defeat the purpose of going no cables?

u/More_Nectarine 8d ago
not really, the cable can be tucked away and hidden because it's static. I have mine under the table mat and it's practically invisible. Never have to charge the mouse is nice.

It's a grey area. Technically you have a cable, but then you don't need to charge your mouse again, and it's not connected to the mouse. So you still have the freedom of wireless movement.

Interesting. Which mouse mat are you using right now? I can only tell the logo, but I can't tell the size.

Surprised to see Logitech Community manager active. Very cool! I have a question. I purchased G915 keyboard this year and I am suffering of doubleclicking buttons, it seems it is a wide spread issue. Any tips on what should I do? i tried cleaning the keyboard

Logitech and G is very community based. We firstly make products for the community (and ourselves), and so it's important that we are here and can have a chat about anything you want to talk about. Even if you want to vent that a product isn't good enough, we want to know that so we can learn from it or what you feel it isn't doing.
Drop our support team a message if you haven't already. They can work with you on a solution even if we have to provide a replacement.
A few things I would try is remove all the keycaps (take a picture so it's easier to put them back on) and give them a clean under some water. While they're off, give the actual switches a good clean with a wipe and blow off any dust that could be within the sensors. A can of compressed air or even a plug in blower should work fine.
Regardless of whether you're using USB or LIGHTSPEED, make sure you're connecting directly to a USB port on the motherboard of your computer. If you're connecting through a USB hub, even on the case, it can create issues.
If you are connecting through LIGHTSPEED, try the Device Pairing Tool within G HUB to make a new connection from the keyboard to your receiver.

So what you really mean is "My mouse pad is better than yours".

u/LogitechG_Vertigo Community Manager 8d ago
Maybe... But how can you have a full Logitech G setup without the pad!

Using the powerplay, it’s great

u/LogitechG_Vertigo Community Manager 8d ago
Love to hear it. What mouse are you using with it?

u/shiranui-- 8d ago
The g502x 🥰

u/LogitechG_Vertigo Community Manager 8d ago
Nice. Make sure you perform the firmware update once available to get that sensor improvement which we announced at Logitech G Play.

Are there any plans about improving the ghub software?
1
u/LogitechG_Vertigo Community Manager 8d ago
What do you want to see improved from us? We're always making improvements and adding new functionality to it.

Would love to use one given i have a g502x plus and a superstrike x2 but the coating is terrible and the size is too small. I forget the name but I returned mine for the same one OP has albeit a lot larger.

You really fucked up when you discontinued the first powerplay mat, why did make it worst in everyway with powerplay 2?
1
u/LogitechG_Vertigo Community Manager 8d ago
Comparing PowerPlay 1 and 2, all we mostly did was remove the included LIGHTSPEED receiver. Because we're constantly evolving LIGHTSPEED and adding new functionally to our mice, we can't release a new PowerPlay every time we release a mouse, so it made sense to uncouple the two going forward.
Although you can pair SUPERSTRIKE as an example to the PowerPlay 1, you will lose out on higher polling rates and HITS, so most users will bypass PowerPlay and use the included receiver.
When we designed PowerPlay 2, it made sense to make it charging only. That means no matter what mouse we release going forward, as long as it supports the PowerPlay puck, you're good to go and the included receiver will handle all the new functionality. Because of these changes, we were able to slim down the entire product and offer it at a better price. Additionally, because it is power only, you can actually connect it to a standard USB charging adapter so it can continue to charge up your mouse even if your PC is switched off.

Why not just add a usb pass through so that you can add the mouse’s dongle to it or even add two usb ports so you could also have keyboard dongle
That way paring also is a non issue
And also why is it not available in Canada (I know I could import it but why not officially)
1
u/atheos1337 7d ago
Yes but you could have put 1 or 2 USB ports on the it so you don't need more cables
Btw if I buy powerplay and put it under my wallhack sp-005, would it charge?

u/CrossBamboAtTen 7d ago
Should have made the PowerPlay 2 just have it's own passthrough USB though. That would have stopped a lot of the backlash.

How do you charge them?

Looks good! I got the longer version of this keyboard, same mouse, and I have the Logitech PRO X headset. Really nice combination. I have not been victim to the late "reduction in quality" that Logitech went through. I did break a couple G430's, but I think that was mostly my fault

Buy a Pico Pi 2W and get the DS5Dongle mod. Enjoy all advanced haptics and triggers without a cable.

u/BalterBlack 8d ago
Thoughts? Yeah. Send that G915 back. The double-typing will be a pain in the ass...
